actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to initiate a care plan for one of 14 sampled
residents (Resident 19), to prevent a pressure ulcer (an injury that breaks down the skin and underlying
tissue) on the buttocks from developing or getting worse.
This failure resulted in the development of two stage I (first stage- shearing off of the first layer of the skin )
pressure ulcers to the left and right buttocks.
Findings:
During a review of facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Care Planning, dated 2/11/20, the P&P
indicated in part, .To assure all residents care needs are identified through continuous assessments and
those needs are care planned .All residents will have a comprehensive care plan to meet their individual
needs .

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure an accurate, and effective system for
monitoring parameters of nutritional status when:
Residents Affected - Few
1. An order for a therapeutic (to cure or restore to health) liquid nutritional supplement (Mighty Shake) was
not documented as being provided and lacked documentation of quantity of consumption of the therapeutic
nutrition supplement for effective monitoring pertaining to parameters of nutritional status for one of ?
sampled residents (Resident 41).
2. Speech therapist (ST) recommendation for 1:1 supervision during mealtimes was not communicated via
an order to ensure the recommendation based on ST assessment would be implemented for Resident 41's
health and safety when the texture of a diet order was modified.
Failure to consistently ensure nutrition interventions were carried out and monitored had the potential to
ineffectively evaluate nutrition interventions and delay an alternative nutrition approach, if necessary, to
help prevent or minimize a potential negative outcome.
Findings:
1. During an observation on 7/25/23, at 12:27 p.m., in the main dining room, Resident 41 was served her
lunch and a Mighty Shake (liquid nutrition supplement to increase calories and protein intake) was not
provided.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 07/26/23, at 08:59 a.m., with Resident 41, in Resident
41's room, Resident 41 stated, she used to get supplement shakes and she liked them, but she doesn't get
them often. Resident 41 stated, she was aware she had lost weight but is eating well and trying to put on
weight.
During an observation on 7/26/23, at 12:45 p.m., in the main dining room, Resident 41 was served her
lunch and a Mighty Shake was not provided.
During a review of Resident 41's electronic medical record (EMR), the EMR, under Census tab, indicated
Resident 41 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and left the faciity on 5/20/2023.
During a review of Weights and Vitals Summary, Resident 41 weighed 119 pounds (lbs) on 5/09/2023, and
112 lbs on 05/15/2023, a 5.9% (percent) significant weight loss.
During a review of Resident 41's EMR, under Census tab, indicated Resident 41 returned to the facility on
6/20/2023.
During a review of Resident 41's Minimum Data Set (MDS) (MDS - a standardized assessment and care
planning tool) admission Assessment, dated 6/27/2023, the MDS indicated, K0300. Weight Loss; Loss of
5% or more in the last month or loss of 10% or more in last 6 months was marked as Yes, not on
physician-prescribed weight-loss regimen.
During a review of Resident 41's Weights and Vitals Summary, Resident 41 weighed 108 lbs on 6/26/2023,

During a review of Resident 41's breakfast meal tray ticket (that provides direction to kitchen staff on what
food, portion sizes and supplements to place on the meal tray), dated 7/25/2023, there was no direction to
provide a Mighty Shake on the breakfast meal tray for Resident 41.
During a review of the facility's Meal Times, the posted breakfast meal time for the dining room was 7:30
a.m.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 07/27/23 at 01:47 p.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse
(LN) 2, Resident 41's Order Summary Report (OSR), dated 5/09/2023 was reviewed. LN 2 stated, Ensure
(a liquid nutrition supplement to add calories and protein intake) BID [two times a day] between meals was
ordered on 5/9/2023 and discontinued on 5/20/2023 because she was not drinking the Ensure. LN 2
reviewed the OSR, dated 7/12/2023 and stated Mighty Shake two times a day for Supplement was ordered
to provide to Resident 41 at 0800 (8 a.m.) and 1400 (2 p.m.).
During an observation on 7/27/23, at 2:45 p.m., in Resident 41's room, Resident 41 was not observed in
her room. There was no Mighty Shake observed on Resident 41's bedside table.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 07/27/23, at 02:47 p.m., with Resident 41, in the living
room, Resident 41 was observed watching television with her husband. Resident 41 was asked if she
received a Mighty Shake at 2 p.m., and she requested more of a description. Resident 41 was informed the
Mighty Shake was a small carton and was like a protein shake. Resident 41 stated, she hadn't seen one but
they did mention she needed it. Resident 41's husband asked Resident 41 if she wanted it, and Resident
41 stated, Sure.
During a review of Resident 41's Minimum Data Set admission Assessment, dated 6/27/2023, the MDS
indicated, Resident 41 had a BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) score of 13 which indicated cognitive

During a concurrent interview and record review on 7/27/23, at 3:30 p.m., with LN 2, Resident 41's
Medication Administration Record (MAR), dated July 2023 was reviewed. LN 2 stated, the MAR did not list
the order for Mighty Shake at 0800 and 1400 as expected because the order got incorrectly entered in the
EMR under dietary supplement and not under medication for it to print out on the MAR, as expected by the
facility. LN 2 verified there was no documentation by the facility that the order for Mighty Shake two times a
day at 8 a.m., and 2 p.m. was implemented, as ordered fifteen days previously. LN 2 stated, she was going
to enter the order correctly now so that it would show up on the MAR

During a review of Resident 41's Order Summary Report (OSR), dated 5/9/2023, the OSR indicated,
Ensure BID between meals two times a day.
During a review of Resident 41's Medication Administration Record (MAR), dated May 2023, the MAR
included, Ensure BID between meals two times a day; at 1000 (10 a.m.) and 1430 (2:30 p.m.) D/C
[discharged ] date 05/20/2023 with a check mark and nursing initials on each day next to 10 a.m., and 2:30
p.m. until discontinued on 5/20/23. The May 2023 MAR showed the Ensure order, dated 5/9/23 - 5/20/23
was implemented by nursing, as ordered, but lacked documentation on quantity of consumption of the
nutrition intervention that was ordered as an addition to the standard breakfast, lunch and dinner
mealtimes.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 7/27/23, at 3:50 p.m., with Certified Nursing Assistant
(CNA) 3, CNA 3 showed Resident 41's meal intake percentages located on a clipboard, and CNA 3 stated,
the CNA's document food intake on the form located on the clipboard which gets transferred to the EMR.
CNA 3 stated, if a resident gets a supplemental shake, that is noted as part of the meal as a whole and
recorded into the overall meal percentage. CNA 3 verified a Mighty Shake order does not get documented,
and monitored, separately above and beyond the usual breakfast, lunch and dinner meal.
During a review of Resident 41's Nutrition Report where the average percent of meal intake for the week
(including any intake of a Mighty Shake per CNA 3) gets documented in the EMR was reviewed, dated
7/13/2023 - 7/27/2023. There was no specific documentation that the physician order for Mighty Shake at 8
a.m. and a Mighty Shake at 2 p.m. was implemented/provided to Resident 41, as ordered.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 07/27/23 at 4:06 p.m., with Director of Nursing (DON),
Resident 41's July 2023 MAR was reviewed in the EMR. DON verified the facility did not have
documentation to show the order for Mighty Shake BID, at 0800 and 1400, ordered on 7/12/2023, was
implemented. DON verified the facility expectation was for the nutrition supplement order to have been
entered in the EMR so that it would automatically print on the MAR for the nursing staff to ensure the order
was given.
During the same interview with DON, DON stated it was the facility expectation for CNAs to document the
quantity of cc's consumed of the Mighty Shake into the overall cc of fluid intake. DON verified the overall cc
of fluid intake could be from a variety of fluid sources, and not just from the Mighty Shake. DON verified the
facility had not had a system, nor trained nursing staff, to document the specific quantity consumed of the
nutrition intervention (Mighty Shake) separately above and beyond the usual fluids and/or meals provided
to a resident. DON acknowledged lack of monitoring consumption of a planned nutrition intervention could
impede the accuracy of the Registered Dietitian's nutrition assessment and could impede the ability to
evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention, or the need to revise a nutritional approach in a timely
manner, without relying on a potential negative outcome such as further unplanned weight loss to
determine if the intervention was adequate or not.

The facility failure to have accurate documentation of dish machine temperatures and lack of monitoring of

have occurred for prompt resolution to ensure the health and safety of residents.
Findings:
During a concurrent observation and interview on 07/25/23, at 10:36 a.m., with Nutrition Services employee
(NS) 4, in the main kitchen, NS 4 was observed running resident dishes through the high temperature dish
machine. NS 4 stated, he was responsible for completing the Dishmachine Temperature Log (DTL). In the
presence of the Director of Nutrition Services (DNS), who translated in Spanish to NS 4, NS 4 was asked to
show or explain how he documented the temperature for the Wash Temp [temperature] column located on
the DTL. NS 4 showed the wash water temperature that displayed on the digital screen affixed to the dish
machine that indicated, wash 157.3 degrees F [Fahrenheit] . NS 4 then pointed to the Wash Temp column
located on the DTL. NS 4 verified the DTL indicated 181 under Wash Temp column, and 186 under Rinse
Temp on the DTL. NS 4 repeatedly stated the 181 temperature on the wash temp column on the log was
the wash temperature. NS 4 was asked multiple times, in Spanish by DNS, to point to the thermometer
used to record a temperature of 181 degrees F that was located on the DTL. NS 4 continually pointed to the
external thermometer located on the dish machine labeled as wash water temperature, and to the digital
display that indicated the wash water temperature, however the wash water temperature was not observed
to reach 181 degrees F. DNS pointed to another temperature gauge that was located toward the side, and
further back from the dish machine that was labeled as the final rinse temperature gauge and asked NS 4 if
that was the temperature gauge that was used to record the temperature of 181 degrees F that was located
on the Wash Temp column on the DTL, and NS 4 stated, yes. DNS verified NS 4 was not completing the
DTL log correctly.
During a review of the manufacturer's plate affixed to the high temperature dishmachine indicated, Hot
Water Sanitizing; Final Sanitizing Rinse Minimum Temperature: 180 degrees F, Pumped Rinse Tank
Minimum Temperature: 160 degrees F, Wash Tank Minimum Temperature: 150 degrees F .
During a concurrent interview and record review on 07/25/23 at 10:41 a.m., the DTL log, dated July 2023,
from 7/1/23 through lunch time on 7/25/23 was reviewed with DNS. DNS verified the Wash Temp column
had documented temperature of at least 180 degrees F for twenty-five days of July 2023 even though the
wash water temperature does not reach 180 degrees F. DNS verified multiple nutrition services staff that
had their initials on the DTL for documenting wash water temperatures had not documented the wash water
temperature accurately. DNS verified that the final rinse temperature gauge located more on the side, and
toward the back, of the dish machine was the final rinse temperature that needed to reach at least 180
degrees F for the dishes/utensils to be sanitized. DNS acknowledged that the monitoring of the dish
machine temperatures located on the log was inaccurate.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Recording of Dishmachine Temperatures,
undated, the P&P indicated, Read temperature gauges on top of the machine while racks are in machine.
Record temperatures daily on Dishmachine Temperature Log .Wash Temperature High

Ensure menus must meet the nutritional needs of residents, be prepared in advance, be followed, be
updated, be reviewed by dietician, and meet the needs of the resident.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to follow the menu as planned when:
1. The SB 6 (Soft, Bite Sized Food) diet was not followed related to the size of meat in accordance with the
facility's planned menu, and Diet Manual for SB 6 diet for two of 14 sampled residents (Resident 35 and
Resident 3).
2. A regular portion diet was not followed per the planned menu, and diet order, for one of 14 sampled
residents (Resident 8) when small portions were served by a cook in the main kitchen.
This failure had the potential to not meet the resident's nutritional needs per the planned menu as approved
by the facility's Registered Dietitian. In addition, not following the correct size of meat for a SB 6 diet had the
potential to place resident's at an increased risk of choking.
Findings:
1. During a concurrent observation and interview on 07/25/23, at 12:19 p.m., in the kitchenette next to the
main dining room, licensed nurse (LN) 1 was observed lifting the lid that covered Resident 3's lunch plate
and compared it to Resident 3's diet order listed on Resident 3's meal tray card (a meal tray card indicates
resident specific diet orders/textures, and instructions on food items that should be on the meal tray, food
allergy, and supplements, if any, for example). LN 1 stated, Resident 3's diet order texture was Soft and
Bite-Sized. LN 1 was asked if she was trained on what size meat constituted Bite-Sized, and she said she
did not know. LN 1 was asked if Bite-Sized meant half inch sized pieces of meat, and LN 1 stated, she did
not know but there were pieces of meat (pork loin) larger than half-inch and proceeded to hand Resident
3's lunch tray to a certified nursing assistant (CNA) to provide to Resident 3.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 7/25/23, at 12:21 p.m., in the kitchenette next to the main
dining room, LN 1 was observed checking Resident 35's lunch meal plate and compared it to the Soft and
Bite-Sized diet order texture listed on Resident 35's meal tray card, and LN 1 verified the pieces of meat
(pork loin) were larger than half inch and proceeded to hand Resident 35's lunch meal tray to a CNA to
serve to Resident 35.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 07/25/23, at 03:41 p.m., the Director of Nutrition Services
(DNS) observed pictures that were taken of Resident 3's, and Resident 35's lunch meal plate and meal tray
card during the lunch meal observation earlier on 7/25/23. DNS stated, the pieces of pork loin served on
the IDDSI 6 Soft and Bite-Sized diet (SB6) were too large. DNS verified the meal tray card for the Soft and
Bite-Sized diet indicated to serve 3 oz. (ounces) SB [soft & bite-sized) 6 Pork Loin. The meal tray card used
by LN 1 to compare the contents of the meal tray had not provided detailed guidance on what size meat to
look for in order to ensure compliance with the diet order texture.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 7/25/23, at 3:45 p.m., with DNS, DNS reviewed the
therapeutic menu spreadsheet for SB6 that nutrition services staff had available during lunch trayline
(assembly of resident meal trays in accordance with the planned menu and resident specific meal tray
cards), and DNS stated, the therapeutic menu spreadsheet had not provided direction to the

During a review of the FDA Food Code Annex (Annex), dated 2022, the Annex, 3-302.15 titled Washing
Fruits and Vegetables, the Annex indicated, All fresh produce, except commercially washed, pre-cut, and
bagged produce, must be thoroughly washed under running, potable water or with chemicals as specified
in Section 7-204.12, or both . Infiltration of microorganisms can occur through stem scars, cracks, cuts or
bruises in certain fruits and vegetables during washing. Once internalized, bacterial pathogens cannot be
removed by further washing or the use of sanitizing solutions. To reduce the likelihood of infiltration, wash
water temperature should be maintained at 10°F warmer than the pulp temperature of any produce
being washed. Because certain fruits and vegetables are susceptible to infiltration of microorganisms
during soaking or submersion, it is recommended that soaking or submerging produce during cleaning be
avoided .

During a review of FDA Food Code Annex, 3-302.15 titled Washing Fruits and Vegetables, the Annex
indicated, Scrubbing with a clean brush is only recommended for produce with a tough rind or peel, such as
carrots, cucumbers or citrus fruits that will not be bruised easily or penetrated by brush bristles. Scrubbing
firm produce with a clean produce brush and drying with a clean cloth towel or fresh disposable towel can
further reduce bacteria that may be present.
Residents Affected - Some
During a review of Good Agricultural Practices for Melons (GAPM), supported by United States Department
of Agriculture, the GAPM indicated, Pathogenic Behavior: Melons present one of the highest risks to
consumers for microbial contamination. Melon rind is a particular challenge to food safety, as it is extremely
susceptible to harboring bacteria. Harmful pathogens such as Salmonella and E.coli O157:H7 have been
shown to stick to the exterior of melons, multiply, and travel though the porous rind to the interior of the fruit.
